Yes, it was bad marketing, but the OS beats anything that M$ has! BTW- I use NT
at work, and I can't believe how often it crashes! They finally gave us 2
machines just so we can do our morning reports and company emai!

Yes (to filling in the blanks! No files to edit, scripts to write, etc. It
is/was the easiest ppp setup of anything I have used (Win3.1,95,OS/2,FreeBSD,or
any other Linux distribution that I have used). 
I installed the 5 disk base system and after it installed, it continued with
"dselect" and I did a full ftp installation. It is "sweet". I recommend it to
anybody (even newbies to Linux).

OS's of CHOICE? Unix (FreeBSD), Linux (Debian), OS2/Warp3
If Microsoft is the answer, the question should never have been asked!
